This deal came through Nathan Ward’s local connections and market insight.

One key he found was mixing a welcoming atmosphere with firm guidelines.. it typically falls under standard tenant landlord laws for eviction.. so you’ll want to double-check local regulations.You mentioned Furnished Finders and Padslipt.com.. from what I’ve heard, those can be great if you’re targeting traveling professionals or short term visitors.

Suzanne, This is impressive - love to see deals being made in my local market.

Does anyone have any experience partnering with different RE teams local to the lead? 

There's no difference in a local flipping a house than flipping the small mixed-use building that is vacant in town into a couple commercial units and some apartments above. 

Thanks for the replying @Shiloh Lundahl, here’s what I’m looking for: good areas to invest, good resources to find properties, general information about the buying process, any realtors and other locals that can help, and expected returns in the area for STR.

Hi @Ashley C.I am local investor and have built several new construction projects here in Atlanta.

While I’d love to invest locally, most properties here are beyond my price range.Right now, I’m compiling a list of potential properties, underwriting deals, and reaching out to Realtors.

Otherwise, just go through all the local/regional banks.   

Research local economic trends, rental demand, and any recent or upcoming developments in the area.
